Medical Assistants salary in Massachusetts

I would start with the middle, not the top of the range. For medical assistants in Massachusetts, that middle figure was $49,460 a year. It gives you a steadier base for rent, bills and savings plans than a headline salary that only a small share of workers actually reach.

The middle half of workers earned from $46,910 to $58,100 a year. Do not read the percentile range as good versus bad jobs. It mostly reflects experience, hours, employer type and local demand. A new starter near the 25th percentile and a veteran near the 75th can both be fairly paid for their stage.

What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$39,668 a year
$3,306 a month
Federal tax $3,755 · FICA $3,784 · State tax $2,253

Caveat: the Massachusetts figure excludes the optional Social Security and Medicare deduction, worth up to $100 of tax.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
